Due to the recent outbreak of EHV-1 at Woodbine, Park Stud has called an end to the 2013 breeding season. "It was a difficult decision as we have always tried to accommodate our clients in anyway we can. The seriousness of this virus and the fact that it is so easily transmittable poses too much risk to the stallions, the horses residing on the farm and our clients mares. We would like to thank all of the breeders who bred with us in 2013, we had a truly amazing season and will look forward to 2014." Said Michael Byrne.

Victor’s Cry is a grade one winning miler by the sensational young sire, Street Cry.

Victor’s Cry is completely free of Northern Dancer, but is by a stallion who carries Northern Dancer’s dam, Natalma, and a double of Northern Dancer’s granddam, Almahmoud, and of a mare by a son of Icecapade, a three-quarters relative to Northern Dancer.

Street Cry has already enjoyed tremendous success with Northern Dancer line mares, the cross providing him with at least 25 stakes winners, seven of them grade one. Among the Northern Dancer branches that have worked under Street Cry are Storm Bird, through Summer Squall (broodmare sire of a Street Cry grade one winner) and Storm Cat (including through Giant’s Causeway – sire of a grade one winner out of a sister to Street Cry - Tale of the Cat, Storm Boot, Forest Wildcat, Forestry, Hennessy and his son Johannesburg, Stormy Atlantic, Stormin Fever, Harlan’s Holiday, Bernstein, Mountain Cat, Tabasco Cat, Sir Cat, Freud and Tomorrows Cat); Danzig (including through Dayjur – broodmare sire of a grade one winner by Street Cry – Chief’s Crown, Boundary, Danzig Connection, Ascot Knight – who gives a very clever pedigree – Belong to Me, Langfuhr, Danehill and Honor Grades); Dixieland Band (broodmare sire of Street Cry’s Champion, Street Sense, and available through Dixie Union, Dixie Brass, Hook and Ladder, Citidancer, and Chimes Band); Deputy Minister who could be sourced via Dehere, Silver Deputy, Awesome Again, Touch Gold, Salt Lake, French Deputy, Forest Camp, and Deputy Commander; Sadler’s Wells (who could be brought in through El Prado); and Nureyev (who is available through Theatrical, Stravinsky, and Atticus).
